A 25-man squad has been selected by Coach Ephraim Mashaba of the Bafana Bafana for the 2017 Orange Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritania.

The kick-off time for the Group M clash is 17h00 (19h00 SA Time) and will take place on Saturday, 5 September 2015 in Nouakchott, Mauritania.

Bafana Bafana played a goaless draw with Gambia in the opening match of the qualifiers at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

"Even though this match comes after a well-deserved rest, not just for the players but also for the technical team, due to the spacing in between, it has also killed the momentum of the team. But I have complete confidence in the players that we have selected and I believe they will deliver," said Mashaba.

The Bafana Bafana mentor said he was confident of getting a good result in the West African country.

"Some of the players have been on a long break and only started playing recently, but I know we will get the result we want. If you look at the squad we have picked, it is based on the opposition. They recently lost by a narrow margin to Cameroon, which means we cannot take them lightly," said Mashaba adding it was imperative to give total application.
